Abstract (en)

The double-ended reversible box wrench (10) for use with a hexagonal fastener includes two box wrenching heads (20,30) interconnected by a handle shank (11), with each head having a double-hexagonal socket opening therethrough, each of the outwardly directed corners (23,33) of which has an axis extending through the center of the socket opening. One socket has a corner inclined at an offset angle of 3-3/4 degrees to the shank axis (14) and the other socket has a corner inclined at an offset angle of 11-1/4 degrees to the shank axis so that, by sequential application of the four wrench faces to a hexagonal fastener, the fastener may be repeatedly rotated in the same direction while the wrench undergoes a swing of no more than 7-1/2 degrees during any one application. A wrench with offset angles of zero degrees and 10 degrees and a pivoting head wrench are also disclosed. <IMAGE>
